Pepper and Vase

November 1, 2011 — maxwest

Today, I thought I’d share with you one of my paintings. To improve my knowledge of color, I took a summer class in painting. Why this instead of a color theory class? It was because I wanted a more practical application as opposed to “theory”. But I digress.

"Pepper and Vase", Gouache on Aquabord, 10x14 in.

The piece you see here was one of the still lifes I painted. This was a gouache painting class and I really learned so much from it.

Whereas everyone went towards realism, I leaned more to abstraction. This was painted on Aquabord, a neat type of board made for watercolors.
